Printing the correct number of copies

[stebradshaw]

Hi,

We have an application running on AIX5.3 that generates text files that are sent to be printed using the lp command.

The user can specify the number of copies they want printed, but only one copy ever gets printed.

I've checked the lp command that is used, and it correctly specifies the -n switch followed by the number of copies.

Is there something in the print queue definitions that prevents multiple copies being printed.

Any help or advice greatfully received.

Thanks, Steve

we have written a script called "lp" and we get the number of copies,as a parameter in commandline

eg : lp -dPRINTER file.txt 3

In our script,we just loop the lp command 3 times then

changed the PATH for lp ( we placed it in /usr/lbin ), problem solved...


Regards,
